Why work with us?
Studio Sana creates smart communications and beautiful design for people and organisations working to make the world a better place. We help bring bold ambitions to life and amplify good work through storytelling that changes hearts and minds. Our experience in behavioural change and political campaigns has earned us the reputation for crafting brands and campaigns that get results.
We’re a creative problem-solver – we ask fearless questions, listen hard, and dig deep into the why and what you need. If we think there’s a better way to get the results you’re looking for, we’ll tell you. We work with all shapes and sizes, what matters is our shared values: equity, justice and harmony. When you work with Studio Sana, you get a true partner. You get style and substance.

Our Partners
Some problems are too big to solve solo, so we bring in partners to deliver end-to-end projects. Our partners share our values, are experts in their field and bring their own fresh perspective. This flexibility allows us to create a team which best suits your needs and budget.
